How would they eat while unconscious though...? This wasn't 'real', was it? As if to answer the question, Henrietta suggested they browse the menus that Sato noticed were in front of them. Curious, Sato opened it and skimmed through the contents. Obviously the most notable thing was the main course section. They briefly describe what sounded like a battle between the customer and some mysterious forces. All together, things on the menu seemed to just be new ways to harness the powers of their personas...

	Regardless of whether Sato even wanted to 'order' anything, Henrietta then informed them that they had all been called there just to announce the beginning of the services for now, and that they could apparently come back to the Velvet Room of their own accord from now on. It's then that Sato remembered the key that he had found with him when he had woken up in the hospital. It had to be the key to the Velvet Room, but, where would they even be able to use it...?

	Before Sato could muster up the will to ask any questions, Igor dismissed everyone and Sato's consciousness quickly faded again. The entire room seemed to melt into a blue nothingness as he felt his thoughts slipping away...

	The summer day was sweltering, and as Sato walked into the abandoned warehouse, he couldn't help but wonder if the Mirror World would be as equally miserable. The thought begged a question: was it a 'true' mirror of the real world, or was it merely a messed up distortion that coincided with the real world? Regardless of the answer, Sato had talked to Mako about the short-lived trip into Seto the team had last night, and they soon decided to investigate it together now that there was no target to save. Sato informed the rest of the group that they were planning on going into the mirror world and that anyone else come at the specified time.

	As he walked into the warehouse, though, he noticed that Ryan had already arrived. "Hey," Sato acknowledged him, giving a small nod. "Are you going into the Mirror World as well today?" He'd be a valuable asset, especially if nobody else showed. Neither he nor Mako had any means of healing themselves should something happen, so having support in the form of Ryan's Persona was very much welcome. "Say, do you have my phone number yet? It'd probably be a good idea to exchange numbers, seeing as we're stuck relaying messages through Rui to the others."

	With that, though, they had little else to do, lounged around in the warehouse for Mako and any of the others who had RSVP'd. Looking around as he waited, it occurred to him that while they had been using the warehouse as their base of operations for quite some time, they had never really done anything to it. Or even clean it up, much. He considered clearing some of it out while he was doing nothing, but the sheer scope of the task was daunting. Maybe they should organize a group cleaning day or something...
